# DSC configuration for Pull Server using registration with enhanced security settings # The Sample_xDscWebServiceRegistration_Win2k12and2k12R2 configuration sets up a DSC pull server that is capable for client nodes # to register with it. # Prerequisite:1- Install a certificate in "CERT:\LocalMachine\MY\" store # For testing environments, you could use a self-signed certificate. (New-SelfSignedCertificate cmdlet could generate one for you). # For production environments, you will need a certificate signed by valid CA. # Registration only works over https protocols. So to use registration feature, a secure pull server setup with certificate is necessary # The Sample_MetaConfigurationToRegisterWithSecurePullServer register a DSC client node with the pull server # ======================================== Arguments ======================================== # $thumbprint = (New-SelfSignedCertificate -DnsName $env:COMPUTERNAME -CertStoreLocation cert:\LocalMachine\My ).Thumbprint $registrationKey = [guid]::NewGuid() # ======================================== Arguments ======================================== # # =================================== Section Pull Server =================================== # configuration Sample_xDscWebServiceRegistration_Win2k12and2k12R2 { param ( [string[]] $NodeName = 'localhost', [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string] $certificateThumbPrint, [Parameter(HelpMessage = 'This should be a string with enough entropy (randomness) to protect the registration of clients to the pull server.
